function cdf = norm_cdf (x, m, v)
% PURPOSE: computes the cumulative normal distribution 
%          for each component of x with mean m, variance v
%---------------------------------------------------
% USAGE: cdf = norm_cdf(x,m,v)
% where: x = variable vector (nx1)
%        m = mean vector (default=0)
%        v = variance vector (default=1)
%---------------------------------------------------
% RETURNS: cdf (nx1) vector
